Site Reviews

Description

Site Reviews allows your visitors to submit reviews with a 1-5 star rating on your website, similar to the way you would on TripAdvisor or Yelp.

The plugin provides blocks, shortcodes, and widgets, along with full documentation.

You can pin your best reviews so that they are always shown first, require approval before new review submissions are published, require visitors to be logged-in in order to write a review, send custom notifications on a new submission, and much more.

Styles: Change the submission form style to match popular themes and form plugins

Support: Free premium-level support included on the WordPress.org support forum

Templates: Use the Site Reviews templates in your theme for full control over the HTML

Reviews

I have been racking my brain, and bank account, trying to find a ratings plugin that doesn't cause errors in Google Search Console, has some customization features, and automates its schema - this is it. It automates filling out your Schema information, has various customizable shortcodes if the default options aren't to your liking, and when it comes to the "Review Snippets" section in Google's Search Console, the following errors I can finally try to have validated and cleared:
1: Invalid object type for field "itemReviewed"
2: Missing reviewed item name
It also, under Products, handles
1: Missing field "name"
2: Either "offers", "review", or "aggregateRating" should be specified
Leaving me just with the "Missing field 'offers' and 'review' warnings. Which are warnings, not errors, and I can deal with.

If you're expecting a plugin to just turn on and control everything from the plugin itself, this isn't for you. This plugin uses shortcodes so there is a little coding involved if you want to change any of the settings. It's very good 'out-of-the-box' either way!
The support is awesome as well! It has tons of questions, examples, and someone answers your questions fairly quickly!

Site reviews is a free app on wordpress and you receive excellent support. They have helped me figure out why the app would not fully display, as well as help me add custom functionality to an action when clicking on 4 or higher stars. I highly recommend this plugin and any plugin developed by this team!
